When Gao Yang returned home, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Neither Liu Liying nor Gao Xuejin was asleep.

Liu Liying was sitting on the sofa watching TV and knitting a sweater.

Gao Xuejin had just returned home from a social event. He was a little drunk after drinking, so he sat on the sofa and rubbed his eyebrows.

Seeing his son coming back with a basket of eggs, Gao Xuejin couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, my son is still filial. Our father and son really have a good understanding."

Gao Yang was confused when he heard this.

It turned out that Gao Xuejin had just wanted to eat eggs with sugar water, but the eggs at home had been eaten up long ago. Liu Liying thought that the feed eggs were not delicious and she could not buy authentic local eggs, so she never bought them.

Gao Yang just happened to bring back a basket of eggs. Looking at the bamboo basket, he knew they must be eggs from rural areas, but he was just dozing off on the pillow.

Liu Liying stood up and walked over, catching the bamboo basket in her son's hand.

She was very happy to see such a large basket of free-range eggs and a large fan of pork ribs, but she complained: "This was also given by Shen Qiuqiu? It's true for you kid, you just take what others give you and don't take anything from them." Become an outsider yourself.

It’s not easy for them, young and old, but the things are good, so just keep them, and remember to give them some money later.”

If someone sincerely gives you their own souvenirs, but you give them money, this is nothing.

Even if it is done with good intentions, it is still very inappropriate.

Gao Yang would never do such an unmeasured thing.

He didn't bother to argue with his mother about this, so he just smiled and mumbled over.

Gao Xuejin, who was sitting on the sofa, began to urge, "Old Liu, there are eggs this time. Can my sugar-watered eggs be boiled?"

Every time he felt uncomfortable after drinking wine, he would crave this sip.

Gao Yang drank so much in the evening that he didn't even bother to take a bite of food, and he was a little hungry at this time.

"Mom, please cook some for me by the way."

Liu Liying frowned and looked at his big belly, and said seriously: "Son, take a look at your belly, it's time to lose weight.

Today’s little girls are very picky, choosing their job, their family background, and their appearance.

Where will you find a wife in the future? I am worried about you."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, with a bit of disgust in his eyes.

Gao Yang has heard such words countless times and has long been immune to it.

He peeled off a mint candy and put it in his mouth, and replied with a playful smile: "Don't call your son worthless. There are many girls who like me, but I just don't want to find them."

My son is just like this, he is careless and has no formal appearance.

Liu Liying smiled and glared at him, "Just brag, I'll see when your bullshit can reach the sky."

Even as she scolded her son, Liu Liying's hands were not idle either.

Boil water in a pot and add brown sugar.

When the water boils, the brown sugar has almost melted.

Turn down the heat to the minimum, add the eggs, knock off the excess foam, and simmer over low heat for seven or eight minutes.

The sugar-watered eggs cooked in this way have solidified egg whites and slightly solidified egg yolks. They are golden in color, have a slightly grainy texture, and have a soft, waxy and sweet taste.

If the egg is cooked for too long, the yolk will become hard; if the time is too short, the yolk will not solidify and form, resulting in a so-called runny egg.

Liu Liying doesn't like soft-boiled eggs. She always feels that the yolks are undercooked, like eating raw eggs.

Now, Liu Liying thinks the doneness is just right, and it is also the family's favorite.

Although she said she disliked her son for being too fat, she couldn't really make up her mind and refused to feed him, so she still gave him two of them.

Finally, she took out the lard can and added a spoonful of lard to her bowl of sugar-watered eggs.

This is the way to eat it in rural areas. After adding lard, not only will it not be greasy, but it will remove the fishy smell and increase the aroma, making the taste better.

However, neither Gao Xuejin nor Gao Yang accepted this way of eating, thinking it was a dark cuisine.

The fragrant sugar-watered eggs were served to the table. Gao Xuejin couldn't wait to take a sip of the sugar-water.

The sweet smell of brown sugar glycol is mixed with the fresh scent of cane. It is delicate in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, and has a particularly refreshing fragrance.

Then pick up an egg with chopsticks and bite it in. It is sweet, soft and glutinous, leaving a mouthful of fragrance.

Gao Xuejin ate three eggs in a row before stopping. He happily drank a sip of sugar water and sighed: "Well...it feels good. I'm alive again."

Liu Liying smiled and agreed: "These eggs are really good, better than the ones I bought last time. Look at the yolk, it's golden, not fishy at all, and it's very fragrant."

Gao Yang didn't say anything, but his bowl was already empty.

"Mom, I'm not full, please give me another one."

Liu Liying protected the remaining two eggs in the bowl, shaking her head like a rattle, "No, you can't eat any more at night, it's easy to gain weight."

It was obvious that he was protecting his own food, but he also said that he was doing everything for your own good.

Gao Yang couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, you are really my mother."

Liu Liying ignored him and continued to eat eggs.

Halfway through eating, she suddenly raised her head and called to Gao Yang who was about to go back to the room.

"Son, please go back and ask Shen Qiuqiu for me if her eggs are for sale. The daughter of the leader of our unit just gave birth to a baby a few days ago, and I am worried about what to give as a gift.

This free-range egg is quite appropriate. It’s not too expensive, but it’s very thoughtful.

And Old Bacon, please help me ask. I fried a plate at night and originally wanted to save some for you, but I ate it up as I was eating. It tastes really good."

During market times, nearby villagers will also bring their own local eggs to the market to sell.

However, it is difficult to buy authentic local eggs. Liu Liying bought fake eggs five or six times out of ten times.

Nowadays, businessmen have learned how to wrap feed eggs in a little bit of mud and chicken feces and pass them off as free-range eggs. You can't tell them apart by looking at them.

Therefore, unless you have reliable acquaintances, it is difficult to buy good free-range eggs.

After hearing what Liu Liying said, Gao Yang instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it and felt that this was also a way to make money, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll ask her later."

When Gao Yang entered the room, Liu Liying sighed and whispered to Gao Xuejin.

"Hey... our son is almost 25, which is really worrying."

Gao Xuejin drank the last sip of sugar water and said casually: "There is nothing to worry about. There are many good girls. The Shen Qiuqiu you just mentioned is the one who came to help our son with his homework in the past few years.

I think that little girl is pretty good. She studies well, is pretty, and is polite. If our son marries her, you won’t have to worry about not being able to buy local eggs to eat."

Liu Liying was so happy that she kicked him, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can I let my son find a random marriage partner just to eat a local egg?

Besides, that girl Shen Qiuqiu is nice, but she is too attractive. Let’s look at our son’s bear-like appearance, is he worthy of her?

I really like that girl. Being a junior is fine, but just being a daughter-in-law is not suitable."
